After taking a serious look at my pumpkin plants in the old patch, I decided to give the whole patch a rest. The plants were ( small )no were big enough to have female flowers on then by even the second week of July. When Mount Redoubt erupted in Alaska on March 23, 2009 it sent ash 50,000 feet into the air. This is why the whole North east is cold and why we are having all this rain. After watching some specials on the weather channel, they perdict July will be a cold and wet month for the whole North East. They even said we might have an early winter. There is no use in fighting mother nature. Knowing that if you don't have big pumpkin plants before July 1st, your not going to grow a pumpkin way over 1,000 pouns.
